The effects of acid rain are most prominent in aquatic environments such as lakes, rivers, creeks and marches. However, acid precipitation is increasingly damaging forest ecosystems through the leeching of soil nutrients and weakening of trees' natural defenses.
An aspiring surgical nurse who seeks a more thorough education might pursue a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, a 4-year degree program that includes two years of supervised clinical practice in a hospital or another healthcare facility.
RN to BSN programs take about one year to complete. Once you get your BSN degree, then you need to complete a nurse practitioner program to get your master's in nursing (MSN) degree. These programs take about two to three years to complete. So, overall you will need about three to four years of schooling to become a nurse practitioner without an accelerated program.
